‘The fourth beast shall be
aA fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
Shall bpersecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall cintend to change times and law.
Then dthe saints shall be given into his hand
eFor a time and times and half a time.
And they shall btake away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
bHis kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
cAnd all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’

Daniel 7:24
ten horns—answering to the ten "toes" (Daniel 2:41).
out of this kingdom—It is out of the fourth kingdom that ten others arise, whatever exterior territory any of them possess (Revelation 13:1; Revelation 17:12).
rise after them—yet contemporaneous with them; the ten are contemporaries. Antichrist rises after their rise, at first "little" (Daniel 7:8); but after destroying three of the ten, he becomes greater than them all (Daniel 7:20-21). The three being gone, he is the eighth (compare Revelation 17:11); a distinct head, and yet "of the seven." As the previous world kingdoms had their representative heads (Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar; Persia, Cyrus; Greece, Alexander), so the fourth kingdom and its Antichrists shall have their evil concentrated in the one final Antichrist. As Antiochus Epiphanes, the Antichrist of the third kingdom in Daniel 8:23-25, was the personal enemy of God, so the final Antichrist of the fourth kingdom, his antitype. The Church has endured a pagan and a papal persecution; there remains for her an infidel persecution, general, purifying, and cementing [CECIL]. He will not merely, as Popery, substitute himself for Christ in Christ's name, but "deny the Father and the Son" (I John 2:22). The persecution is to continue up to Christ's second coming (Daniel 7:21-22); the horn of blasphemy cannot therefore be past; for now there is almost a general cessation of persecution.
